Yep.

VCT off on the poncams, loss in down low power, VCT on, better down low power. Keep the VCT if its a street car, Tomei Poncams are made for VCT so why are you asking about Poncams with VCT disabled?

Making power at high revs on an engine is easy, making power at low revs is difficult.

its not a streeter, the amount of oil the vct feed returns to the head when its deactivated at 6500 is an issue, and when using 8200 revs even with extra oil returns and restricted feeds is an issue. did the pon cams loose bottom end over std sticks even with vct active

Did a whole lot of headwork at the same time therefore can't compare. Only comparison we did was moving around the VCT change point and turning it on and off to see how it was affected. If its not a street car, and it's going to be in high rpm constantly, than the VCT not being enabled wouldn't make a difference.

The only reason i want to ditch the vct is the amount of oil it releases into the rh rocker box when it is deactivated at 6400, it has a 6 speed box so the ratios are pretty close i can afford to give away a little responce but the std cams are no good with out vct operating, i may have to fit a set of 256s and run it. what other head work did you do at the time and what where the net gains. cheers

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.

      Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention

      So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
